Week in Review

MercyFound Ministries is hosting a link-up each weekend for us to share our high, low, and lesson learned for the week. It's a great way to stop and reflect, and record what's happening! Before you jump over to join in the fun, here's MY week in review:HIGH::Sveta's birthday was this week. We had so much fun doing all sorts of things. She got to play with a friend, had an impromptu party at church, went out to lunch, and dinner, and played at a great indoor playground in the area. Fun was had by all at her family party, and on her birthday. She's 5. My little girl is 5. Unreal. LOW::Lots of things are going on that are just hard. Plain hard. They aren't fun...but my prayer continues to be that God be glorified.LESSON LEARNED::God has already won. He's already defeated the enemy, and He has given me all of the tools I need to stand firm in my faith. I just have to use them, and trust in Him. Ephesians 6:10-13 is what I'm memorizing right now...and I'm holding on to these truths!
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.12 For our struggle is not against [e]flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm."
